@superbattleshipyamato Agreed, I knew of his damaged arm. I didn’t know he lost a kidney.

Really? I think I am happy to hear one fly by though!

Cool story. I love how they just refurbished it after it took the a-bomb and saw how much more punishment it could take. It’s like testing to find the strongest M&M in the bag!

If you want to check out some real German airplane projects try www.luft46.com  that guy has compiled everything from diagrams to pics to photos of real models and test planes.

The results of the study seem to be a mixed bag. See the BJM editorial…

The fact that the study was authorized and sponsored by proponents of California Proposition 99(Anti-Smoking group)and then dropped because of the apparent survey outcome seems to balance the equation for me.

That’s akin to a district attorney gathering evidence that contradicts the outcome s/he wishes in a case. Then not turning the results of the investigation over to the defense attorney. The facts are hiden from the jury…

He might of been refering to our huge garrison in Germany.

I did some research on the net and found out that the movie was released on VHS in 1986 under the name “State of Division”, so you may be able to find a video of it under that name instead of “Death Race”.

Here’s a brief summary without spoiling anything:

Two American P-40s go on a mission in Africa to bomb a minefield, and one of them gets shot down and has to make a crash landing. The second pilot lands to rescue his buddy, but a German tank and soldiers show up and a stray bullet takes out something or another so that the plane can no longer take off, but can still taxi along the ground. The remainder of the movie is about the Afrika Korps chasing the two pilots and the plane across the desert, and it has a great ending that I’m not going to tell you about… :grin:

It’s really good for a TV movie - on http://www.imdb.com it has a rating of 8.3 out of 10.
